Airport Media Drives Greater Impact for Brand, Proving Itself a Powerful Engagement Medium Among Frequent Flyers Who Are 2x More Likely to Be Their Company's AI Decision-Maker

NEW YORK, Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As America's airports experience record-setting traveler volumes and prepare for continued growth through 2025, new research commissioned by Clear Channel Outdoor (CCO), and conducted by Nielsen, offers a timely, data-backed case for local and national brands to amplify their presence in the airport environment.

The study comes as air travel continues surging and as TSA has screened record numbers of travelers this year, and the trend is expected to accelerate into 2026. Moreover, this growth is driven by pent-up travel demand, modernization and expansion of U.S. airports, and a wave of Americans eager to explore new adventures. As travel continues to rise and airport dwell times remain high, airport advertising offers brands a premium, uncluttered, safe, and high-impact environment to connect with a captive and motivated audience.

The study, which focused on business travelers** and frequent flyers*, provides a revealing look into traveler perceptions, preferences, and, most importantly, behaviors following exposure to airport advertising. In an era defined by traveler mobility, digital connectivity and experiential marketing, this study further underscores how airport media is uniquely positioned to deliver brand awareness and conversion at scale.
